[SOLVED] Install Vala and its version

I tried two AUR packages (vala-git and vala-devel). Basically I want vala 0.16 or higher, but when I install from those AUR packages (which build from source), Make and other building tools don't detect vala version:

Setting top to                           : /home/david/src/geary 
Setting out to                           : /home/david/src/geary/build 
Checking for 'gcc' (c compiler)          : /usr/bin/gcc 
Checking for program pkg-config          : /usr/bin/pkg-config 
Checking for 'gobject-2.0'               : yes 
Checking for 'gthread-2.0'               : yes 
Checking for program valac-0.8           : not found 
Checking for program valac               : /usr/local/bin/valac 
Checking for valac version >= (0, 8, 0)  : None 

When I do "valac --version", I get "valac: error while loading shared libraries: libvala-0.14.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". (with vala-devel installed, which is vala 0.16).

Any idea of what's happening, despite being very vala-specific?

Re: [SOLVED] Install Vala and its version

I'm not really helping, but vala version 0.16.0 is in testing.
NB : glad to see someone working on geary

However, I don't think I can install a single package from testing, and have all my other packages from stable.

Oh, I work at elementary OS, Geary and Postler are being worked on hard lately.

You can grab the PKGBUILDs for the vala package in testing and compile it yourself.

Thank you, it didn't work too, but it seems like it's a Vala bug.
